The first time my eyes were exposed to a Nickie's illustration, there was a multilevel response; it started with a sexual reaction to the hot guy I was viewing, rapidly followed by a small shock causing laughter, then there was a sudden need to lay on a psychoanalyst's couch ending very quickly back to the first reaction of sexual desire and over secretion of saliva. Whatever the succession of your own reactions is, you can't easily forget what you saw and you can't wait until you see the next one. This is why this talented guy from Canada got very popular and was loved so quickly. In my fantasy, the ideal way to interview Nickie would be him hanging with belts from the roof while milking his answers on an audience of Pokemons. Of course none of this happened in the real world so here's what he answered to my questions.

Many of homocomix readers, including me, of course, are fascinated with your works and we're really wondering; are you human? are you from this dimension? are you a gay male?

lol! I am definitely from Earth as far as I remember. A regular android who had been fond of the male body ever since he was a child. As for orientation, I'm homosexual but with a small chance of being 10% heterosexual. Why do I say this? Probably because the very first person I ever fell in love with was a high school female freshman classmate. I'll never forget that girl.

What do you eat for breakfast and how does that affect your inspiration?

Whatever I can eat. I'm not picky. haha! Probably why I'm so random with my stuff.

Do you meditate (often)?

Sadly meditation is a luxury I rarely afford to have the time to do. Especially with the amount of stress I get with my current real job.

The drunk guy with Jigglypuff, destroyed some of mine’s and my friend's brain cells and probably most of my blog's readers who loved it and turned it to a success over Tumblr and generally, over the Internet. Really, what were you thinking when you were drawing this?

Pokemon naturally. Hahaha! Nah, seriously, I was merely trying to just be random and fill space and for some reason Jigglypuff was the first thing to enter my mind. I'm like, "Hey, a sleeping guy, why not a put Jigglypuff? That'll get the viewer's imagination going."

If you wanted to create a superhero, what would be his main superpower? would he be a villain?

Oh it has to be a superhero and his superpower should be something that burns or tears his clothes off so when he reverts back to his human state, he'd be stark naked in front of the crowd he just saved. A very sexy ending to a rescue. hahaha!

Almost all of the guys you draw, someone could say, they're either the same person or are very close relatives. Is it you or is it your ideal partner? Or there's no difference in these two (yourself and the ideal partner)?

I don't think I look like any of the guys I've drawn, but some people say "every painter paints himself" so that might account to something. But that actually makes me a bit sad though that they are looking a bit similar. I'm trying to avoid that but I guess it's hard to avoid it with me when I have an ideal look you love. Ultimately though, yes, I'm drawing the ideal guy(s) I want to be with.

Are there any plans to publish a book with your work or if you had a good proposition from a publisher, would you think seriously about it?

I never ever planned to make a book in all honesty. 'Cuz I was just illustrating as a hobby, but so many people have asked me that I have now considered to publish one if the opportunity arises (from a publisher or whoever). I'm just not sure I have enough stuff to warrant an entire book though. I'll try to churn out more stuff and maybe in the future, I'd feel more comfortable in publishing one.

In a place where there is a visible and vibrant art scene. Couldn't care less where but so far I don't feel that where I'm living at the moment. Either that or I'm just not hanging with the right crowd. lol! Though I'd like to spend some months in a nice warm tropical climate country once in a while.

Ok. So I haven't been following this blog long, but I had no idea you did interviews. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get to Nickie first, but very glad you did. I love Nickie's work and enjoyed learning about him.I also appreciate your approach to the interview. I feel like I've gained some inspiration from your questions to apply to my own interviews with artist.
